You and me both. I may be mildy “on the spectrum” considering the reactions of folks to some things I say, things I think are perfectly fine, but seem to put them off in some way.
My Dad (R.I.P.) once told me that he and Mom sent me to a school for children with learning problems because I was actually withdrawing into an autistic state, but apparently the school helped, because I’m more or less OK now.
I’m just the opposite. I tend to let little things set me off. I always apologize afterwards but I can tell by the looks on people’s faces that they were shocked at my outburst. I hate it. Couple that with my inability to stay focused on a task and get easily sidetracked.
